YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

lastliberal Cute little story with music by Harry Connick Jr. That should be enough for most people to tune in, but there is more.Carol Kane (Hester Street, "Taxi") plays the best friend of Eubie (Rob Paulsen, who has seven Annie nominations and three wins for his characters). One of my favorite comedians (even though he was in that awful Farce of the Penguins) Lewis Black also has a major role. Kevin Michael Richardson (The Matrix Revolutions, "Clerks") sings the blues. Mickey Rooney is Santa.There is enough here to make even the adults happy and the story is funny and really in the spirit of the season.

Luckystar6584 This is a fun movie to watch. Great to laugh at. I was shocked by the amount of people who took this movie seriously. What did you expect?? But it's a hilarious film. and to take up more space because there's really nothing more to say about it... But I've gotta say, this film is great if you aren't planning to take it seriously. Have a fun joking mood inside your jolly self and you'll be laughing even after the sad and tragic ending. I'm just kidding. It has a happy ending. What kind of Christmas story would it be if it had a sad and horrible ending? But anyway, It's a fabulous movie to watch. But watch it when it nears Christmas, because then it just makes it even more special. :)

emailathotmail Well, my packaging of "The Happy Elf" didn't have blinking lights, but this was my only disappointment. Thought the animation was great, but then again i have been watching a lot of Simpson shows, and love the animation there too. This movie is from the same company which makes the Simpsons, i've seen somewhere, only it's even better animation. The movie is short, only 45 minutes, which is probably why there aren't any boring moments. There are not any beautiful crying moments either, such as sad bunnies or singing angels, nope, there are only stuff to make you happy or make you giggle. This movie is short, entertaining and you can watch it with toddlers, as well as with bigger children, or "crazy" adults as myself. The voice of Carol Kane as the happy elf's best friend, Mickey Rooney as Santa, and the Mayor (voice by Kevin Michael Richardson) singing "Bluesville", as well as Harry Connick Jr singing the Happy Elf and being narrator and a cartoon character, are stuff which sticks to my mind as a brilliant bonus for the movie, after seeing it. Also the ending is not huge and spectacular with blinking lights and sparkles, but cute. This movie made me feel happy.

smurfpaint I have just seen The Happy Elf on Cartoon Network and it was a charming, fun little movie.The Character animation was great as was the character design. I really enjoyed Lewis Black as the the new boss of the main character.I have never been fond of musical numbers in animation and after seeing this movie I'm still not But Harry Connick Jr's touch is felt here with a few jazzy numbers that are quite cool.The Happy Elf did not set my world on fire not that it should since I'm an adult but it was a enjoyable watch. It's a fun movie.
